On Liouville’s theorem for conformal maps
Abstract. A theorem of Liouville asserts that the simplest conformal transformations on Euclidean space—translations, dilations, reflections, and inversions—generate all conformal transformations when the dimension is at least 3. I will describe a new proof of this theorem which is shorter and more elementary than the argument, due to Nevanlinna, found in most modern textbooks.
